#275785 — k3b problem?

I rebooted, and found that k3b still suffers from the lag. Which 
apparently  messes with its mind. In 2 different dvd writers in this 
machine, I was not able to burn the unzipped .iso into a bootable dvd+rw 
disk. I finally used dd to put it on a 32G usb key which worked, 32 gigs 
of ram is all good.  And after the reboot, t-bird is unable to save the 
draft again.   But this is the first time I have booted anything from 
usb! That is a huge advantage. So I'll see if a netinstall will boot 
from a key.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.

I think a CD is probably safer for something the size of a netinstall.

It certainly should, and will boot with the installer in either legacy
or UEFI mode depending on the environment it finds. It's quite a few
years since laptops came with optical drives (I have one of the last)
so everything has to boot from USB now. Modern Windows images are too
large for a DVD.

If I still had a cd, but the 100 count spindle I bought nearly 20 years 
ago seems to have died from room lighting. Neither drive recognizes 
them  after nearly 20 years under ccfl, and now led lighting. The 
commercial music cd's even older are fine, but the recordables 
apparently fade under room lighting in 10 years or so. Only those in the 
AOL tin boxes are readable today.
